Retired nurse Jan Fuller, diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2015, credits a new drug, Produodopa, for restoring her quality of life by controlling tremors. Administered via a pump, the drug has reduced her pain and increased her 'on' time, significantly improving her independence. Dr. Vaclav Dostal, a neurologist, calls the treatment a 'game-changer' for Parkinson's patients.

Janice Fuller, diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2015, started produodopa treatment at NNUH in September 2023, finding it reduces her pain and improves her quality of life, though it's not a cure. The treatment involves a pump delivering drugs foslevodopa and foscarbidopa continuously.
